Photos and Description of this Hereford & Worcester holiday house Luxury cottages The Woodhouse (for 6-8), Barn Croft (6) and The Wainhouse (2)

One of three award-winning cottages at the foot of the Malvern Hills, The Woodhouse is an early C15th Grade II* Listed semi-moated hall-house, sharing its 15 acres of gardens and grounds with our two other cottages. The Woodhouse is perfect for those looking for luxury in an historic setting. Each bedroom has its own variation on a four-poster bed with dramatic medieval-style hangings and antique furniture. Barn Croft, newly converted from a stone barn and adjoining brick calf-house, is light and airy and ideally suited to a family gathering or being shared by three couples. The Wainhouse has been imaginatively restored to provide a secluded, romantic hideaway. All the cottages have their own gardens and are furnished with antiques, silk drapes, pictures and prints. Book The Woodhouse on its own or book all three properties together to provide a wonderful setting for a family reunion or special celebration, accommodating upto 16 guests with dining capacity in The Woodhouse for 16.

Details for The Woodhouse 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, 3 Bathrooms

The Woodhouse is a Grade II* Listed semi-moated medieval hall-house, from the first part of the C15th. It has been restored using traditional methods and materials including Herefordshire oak, wattle and daub, lime mortar, limewash and casein paint. What remained of the original building was used to provide evidence for the restoration, which was guided by SPAB architect Andrew Thomas and executed largely by the owner, David Furnival. It was featured by the BBC on Radio 4’s Open Country and in The Observer in Feb. 2004. Mentioned in N. Pevsner’s Buildings of England, The Royal Commission on Historic Monuments for East Herefordshire and in The Book of Ledbury by Joe Hillaby. Furnished to reflect its medieval beginnings, this is your opportunity to luxuriate in a medieval-style 'hanging' bed, four poster or a half tester. Dine in what was the Great Hall, which can accommodate 16, or use the garden terrace to entertain whilst overlooking the carp-filled moat.
